My first court day with Tulsa Municipal Court House
Since I was a kid, I had always wanted to be a lawyer. Therefore, me being judge inside a court room made me feel embarrass and ashamed of what I had always plan to become. Although, I tried hard to keep my strength to not let this situation put me down towards my future. It still become a small effect on me. I never would have imagined myself sitting inside a court room in the wrong over traffic tickets. I know that I had made a mistake and nobody is perfect but this was very scary for me. Being in jail is not a place for no one, a place I will not return too.
Now, my first time in Tulsa downtown court house was tragic my heart was racing. When the judge called my name I felt shocked. My mind state was not in reality but stud and didn’t know how to react nor respond in this situation. There was no one but me with no friends or family and most of all I felt as though I had let my daughter down with disappointment. She suffers a week away from me only phone calls and no way of really knowing where I was. My parents taking care of her while I am locked up inside a cage in the dark. The food wasn’t the same it tastes like dog food, the smell was a scent of garbage,

I learned that the problem can become big in many ways. Traffic tickets are not really a big deal to many people but that’s not the case. It can either make you or brake you. Although, I’ve experienced a feel for my future career that makes me only a step farther at becoming even more successful. Traffic tickets can be come a big part of a person life, large of amount of money owed to the county court house and punished in a long time matter it was enough to make me come to realization that it’s not worth my further. This situation had helped me to see to grow and actually become the person I will become as a defendant in my future
As soon as the people started walking out of the courtroom, we all embraced Darry in a big hug. I knew then how it must have been for Darry when he lost me. After we were all reunited, we headed home without a fear in our minds. I guess we were just glad that we were back together, because I knew that there would be troubles along the way, but for now everything was golden.
Once I arrived at the main entrance, a feeling of anxiety set in. To many, the word prison might scare them. To some, they welcome the idea of prison. To others, they don 't care or have an opinion. I have also been a firm supporter of our criminal justice system, and am unsure why this feeling occurred.
If not, families with innocent acquaintances in custody shall be in despair for as long as the prisoner is in jail. If the court stops this misdemeanor, then everyone shall be saved of being accused mistakenly. Everyone loves their family. Therefore, if they’re locked up for years and years for a crime that they never committed, then the entire family shall be crestfallen.
By title, I am Deputy Governor Danforth I should be called Excellency, in town or up North. A powerful lion lurks inside of me, making me king of the jungle with limitless authority. My heart is a hard rock stone. I have no feelings towards those accused, for there is only death and seniority.
I was to be admitted into a Psychiatric ward so I could be watched, but not until the following day. Maybe if they would have acknowledged the fact that I was truly suffering I would have made it through the program. But I could not convince myself to stay in a place where all I saw was pain. My pain, my dad’s pain and every other sick child in the buildings pain. The following day came and I made the call that I was going home.
Adjustments in life are rather harder than expected, especially for convicted prisoners. Having majority of your rights and freedoms being taken away is an enormous punishment in which none us want. Prior to jail, Andy Dufrense was a successful banker, who was able to do anything he truly wanted. Andy was a very wealthy, and successful man who had the rest of his life panned out for him. But due to a wrong conviction, Andy is now facing a two life year sentences in a maximum facility.
I roll up the car window on my barely one-year-old bright red Honda Accord, and watch the cop slowly drive away. When he’s out of sight, I look down and fixate on the small, pink paper in my lap. I try to read the words on it but my head 's still spinning I’m so dead. What are my parents going to say? There goes the rest of my summer.
He did not want to let him get out of jail if he was just going to end up back in it within days. However, the judge let the client out of jail. An additional aspect I found very intriguing were the certificates and reading some client’s had done. Clients had received a certificate for achieving a higher level of drug court. Then, some client’s had to write up what they wanted to say when they entered a new phase.
I had one assault charge whenever I was really young, I got detained for a few days then went on my merry way home. About 7 years later, there's another assault charge put against me - whenever someone had spit on me (Hey! That's an assault on a minor!) , I had grabbed their throat and put it against a wall - then let go after realizing I just flipped shit. I already knew what was about to happen, I had dealt with police before but never had any charges.
After being wronged by something that is supposed to protect and prove your innocence and live in fear of it [justice system] and continue to fear it for the rest of their life. In Ronald Cotton’s case he did get compensation for the time he spent but it was not enough to fully get him up and stable in life and to make up for the years he missed and advancements in technology and life. Even after cleared and making an appearance on 60 minutes and Jennifer still refused to accept the fact that he was not the one that ruined her life after the traumatic event she has been through. Life after incarcerated can be stressful for the person convicted and the one accusing because you know deep down you just ruined someone’s life and made them miss many vital years out of their
The Juvenile Justice System was a system created over a century ago to prevent young juveniles under the age of 17 to be process and tried as an adult. The Juvenile system was created to let juveniles have an easier sentencing with fair treatments and rehabilitation, but lately the system has been racially biased towards colored juveniles because of their skin color which results the system being unfair towards colored juveniles in the system. The Juvenile Justice System is racially bias towards colored juveniles, because colored juveniles are more likely to receive harsher treatments than their white counterparts, won’t receive enough resources for rehab, and receiving lack of legal representation for trials. Color juveniles are more likely to receive
I have been locked up for a week. I have been thinking a lot about my life and how it’s going to end any anytime now. I told the judge Danforth that I am pregnant. Unfortunately I am not going to be able to live with my baby because I am going to get killed a month after. The reason why I am going to get killed is because I was charred guilty.
The biggest issue within the Criminal Justice system is the large number of wrongful convictions, innocent people sentenced to die for crimes they did not commit. People are put in prison for years, even executed for false convictions. This affects not only those put in prison but friends and family of the accused. Wrongful convictions aren’t solely a tragedy for those directly involved either. It weakens the faith the public has for the justice system as well as poses safety issues; when innocent people are put away, the real criminals are still out there.
Daniele Manville was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 4 ½ to 15 years incarceration. Daniele had decided at a very young age he wanted to work in law; he wanted to be a lawyer.
